DMC1: hold R1, you can dodge roll, stay close to an enemy and keep attacking with that enemy in focus. alternatively  you can let go of R1 and jump away. invincibily frames during aid jump means that you arent effected by enemy attacks during rolls or jumps.

DmC: dodge hurls you away from enemies regardless if you want to attack a certain enemy

DMC1 does have hard lock on. hold R1. and even if its always the closest enemy you can change it to the one you want and always have that enemy in focus if you keep holding R1
